Summary A subline of mouse L-cells carries a dicentric chromosome in which one centromere always separates prematurely. This centromere is not involved in the dynamics of chromosome migration and is considered inactive. By use of anti-BRdU antibody binding to BRdU-treated chromosomes it is shown that the pericentric constitutive heterochromatin associated with the prematurely separating centromere replicates earlier than its counterpart associated with the active centromere and even before several euchromatic regions in the genome. These results point to a possible mechanism by which dicentric chromosomes segregate equationally. 相似文献

Summary The dicentric nature of a marker metacentric chromosome originated by robertsonian fusion has been established in the ascites cells of mouse sarcoma 180. C-banding analysis has revealed that the metacentric is actually a dicentric with 2 closely situated C-positive heterochromatic zones. The nature of the centromeres and the NF value of the cell indicate that this meta-dicentric marker has orginated by breakage and fusion within each of the short arms of 2 acrocentric chromosomes.Acknowledgment. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Dr N. Chatterji, former Director, CNCRC, Calcutta, for supplying the cell-line to the first author. Sincere thanks are due to Prof. Sujit K. Dasgupta, Head, Dept. of Zoology, H. M. Govt. College and to Dr A. K. Roy of the same department for encouragement. 相似文献

The occurrence of a stable and transmissible dicentric chromosome with 2 terminal centromers has been reported in the ascites form of mouse sarcoma 180 cells which is chromosomally hypotetraploid. The number of such dicentrics is 2 in all endoreduplicated cells. The probable mode of anaphase separation of the dicentric has been discussed. 相似文献

In the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica L.) nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) were detected by a combined silver-Giemsa method (Ag-G). The main sites of NORs are the secondary constrictions of chromosomes 8 and 10. Sometimes an additional NOR was observed near the centromere of 1 homologue of chromosome 11. Association of NORs were seen only between chromosomes 10 and at a very low frequency. 相似文献

An in vitro dose effect curve of dicentric chromosome aberrations in human cord blood lymphocytes has been obtained for 250-kV X-rays. This is compared with a curve prepared in an identical manner using blood from adults. The comparison shows a marginally higher dicentric yield in blood of newborns at doses above about 250 rads. 相似文献

Inhibition of protein deacetylation arrests cells in mitosis, but the mechanism is unknown. To understand why inhibiting protein
deacetylation causes cell cycle arrest, we treated HeLa cells beyond G1/S transition with trichostatin A (TSA), a potent protein
deacetylase inhibitor, and found that the cells arrested at prometaphase with ectopic spindles and unaligned chromosomes.
The hyper-acetylated cells encountered a serious microtubule (MT)-kinetochore attachment problem, although the kinetochores
are intact at ultrastructural level. By immunofluorescence staining of kinetochore proteins, we found that the pericentromeric
H3K9Me3-HP1 pathway was disrupted and that the CENP-A-dependent outer plate protein dynamics of kinetochores was greatly diminished
by the drug treatment. The treatment also caused the loss of chromosome passenger complex (CPC), the proposed error checking
system, from centromere and impaired the microtubule dynamics of the cells. Overall, we propose that deacetylation inhibition
impairs MT-kinetochore attachment through disrupting the centromere function and altering the kinetochore composition and
MT dynamics.

Summary Model squashes with gelatine cubes containing 8 files like the chromosomes ofBellevalia romana (2n=8) showed the chromosomes only in groupings that correspond to the original position of metaphase chromosomes. The metaphase chromosomes in root tip cells ofBellevalia romana are arranged at random; there is neither somatic pairing nor genome segregation (= grouping of metaphase chromosomes into two complete chromosome sets). In contradiction to these results, the chromosomes in the regenerating liver cells (2n=42) show a certain precentage of grouping into complete genomes. It is concluded that in rat liver cells a mechanism exists which, starting with the genome segregation, may produce a change in chromosome number. Thus these same euploid or aneuploid chromosome numbers can be explained which are really observed in normal and treated rat liver. 4 possibilities of such mechanism are discussed.

The centromere is the chromosomal region that directs kinetochore assembly during mitosis in order to facilitate the faithful segregation of sister chromatids. The location of the human centromere is epigenetically specified. The presence of nucleosomes that contain the histone H3 variant, CENP-A, are thought to be the epigenetic mark that indicates active centromeres. Maintenance of centromeric identity requires the deposition of new CENP-A nucleosomes with each cell cycle. During S-phase, existing CENP-A nucleosomes are divided among the daughter chromosomes, while new CENP-A nucleosomes are deposited during early G1. The specific assembly of CENP-A nucleosomes at centromeres requires the Mis18 complex, which recruits the CENP-A assembly factor, HJURP. We will review the unique features of centromeric chromatin as well as the mechanism of CENP-A nucleosome deposition. We will also highlight a few recent discoveries that begin to elucidate the factors that temporally and spatially control CENP-A deposition. 相似文献

Summary When cells were irradiated with variable doses of gamma rays, 0.33% showed the appearance of single decondensed chromosomes (SDC) at the moment at which all the other chromosomes of the complement exhibited the normal condensed state corresponding to metaphase stages. Several hypotheses are discussed to explain the origin of SDC. It appears that the most reasonable mechanism to explain our observations is to assume that the process of chromosome condensation is independently controlled in each individual chromosome by a gene/s located in each one of the chromosomes of the complement. A radiation-induced deficiency in one of these genes may produce an impairement in the normal process of condensation of the carrier chromosome which would give rise to SDC.This work was supported by grants from CIC and CONICET.Acknowledgments. I wish to thank Dr J.M. Andrieu who kindly performed the irradiation of the specimens. 相似文献

192 offsprings from interspecific back-crosses (male M. spretus x female BALB/c) F1 x male BALB/c or (male M. spretus x female C57BL6) F1 x male C57BL6 were analysed at thirteen structural loci. Linkage of ES-14 with Mod-1 on chromosome 9 and that of Adh-1 with Amy-1 on chromosome 3 are shown. The following order centromere/Car-2/Amy-1 is tentatively proposed for these loci on chromosome 3. 相似文献

Summary A centric fusion of 2 acrocentric chromosomes in a female laboratory rat is described. The phenotype was normal. The new chromosome is submetacentric. Other animals of the same group showed such new chromosomes only sporadically. No information is available of chromosome mosaic, fertility or genetics of this animal. 相似文献

The appearances are described in 4 human tumours having nuclear protrusions associated with large abnormal chromosomes. In C-banded preparations, chromocentres were seen in the protrusions only where interstitial C-bands were present on the long arm of the abnormal chromosome, providing evidence that the protrusions are indeed formed by the long arms. 相似文献

Summary Application of sister chromatid differential (SCD) procedure on G1, S and G2 prematurely condensed chromosomes (PCC) of cells in the second and third cycle of DNA replication in medium containing BrdU reveals differential staining patterns characteristic of their respective stages in the cell cycle. These findings also suggest a structural similarity between PCC and metaphase chromosomes.Supported in part by grants from the National Foundation-March of Dimes (grant No. 1-327) and from the National Cancer Institute (grant No. CA-16480). 相似文献

Telomeres and chromosomal instability 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Telomeres are distinctive structures, composed of a repetitive DNA sequence and associated proteins, which enable cells to distinguish chromosome ends from DNA double-strand breaks. Telomere alterations, caused by replication-mediated shortening, direct damage or defective telomere-associated proteins, usually generate chromosomal instability, which is observed in senescence and during the immortalization process. In cancer cells, this chromosome instability could be extended by their ability to repair chromosomes and terminate in break-fusion-bridge cycles. Dysfunctional telomeres can be healed by activation of telomerase or by the alternative mechanism of telomere lengthening. Activation of such telomere maintenance mechanisms may help to preserve the integrity of chromosomes even if they play a role in chromosomal instability. This review focuses on molecular processes involved in telomere maintenance and chromosomal instability associated with dysfunctional telomeres in mammalian cells.Received 24 July 2003; received after revision 5 September 2003; accepted 11 September 2003 相似文献

The metaphase chromosomes of Chironomus th. thummi contain approximately 17% more pericentric C-band heterochromatin than the chromosomes of Chironomus th. piger with 11% heterochromatin. In Ch. th. thummi, the proportion of heterochromatin appeared to be much larger in metaphase chromosomes than in polytene chromosomes. This discrepancy is interpreted as being due to the specific chromosome organization and not as the result of an underreplication of heterochromatin during polytenization. 相似文献
